Cubic Collective VIP launch.

I was recently invited to Cubic Collective's VIP Black Card launch, promoting an exciting new era of shopping where VIPs can use their cards with specially integrated QR codes to gain access to discounts and other exclusive features using the QR scanner app on their mobile phone. I am a shameless troglodyte so when the exquisitely wonderful Julia elucidated this shopping experience to me, I was absolutely in awe at the novelty of this notion! 

It was also my first time visiting Julia and Andy's delightful store and with its impeccably curated labels (Shakuhachi, Maurie & Eve, Alice McCall, this is a plain tee, and more) they are truly the ultimate purveyors of sartorial fundamentals for both men and women. For any of you who reside in the Gold Coast, this is one store you need to frequent for your dose of perfect t-shirts or denim. If not, you can visit their online store here!

Thank you again to the lovely Elle who mediated my invitation and Julia and Andy for hosting such a beautiful afternoon.

Much love, Mandy. xx

East of Grey label launch party.

A while ago, I was invited to the launch of East of Grey - a Gold Coast based fashion label and vintage store directed by the beautiful and talented Kim Bailey. Set amongst a Parisian-themed setting, Kim showcased her lovely collection as well as all her meticulously curated vintage finds that she has accumulated over the years. It was not only a whimsically gorgeous night, but also a truly fun one as we tried our hand at styling and dressed up in all the pretty clothes that were on display. My personal favourite was the scalloped vintage tank pictured above (styled with my favourite Cameo sequin shorts and Jeffrey Campbell heels) - it has the most exquisite gold embroidery that is a rare commodity in this age of mass production. Thank you for such a memorable night Kim! 

And to all my lovely readers, if you are in the Sanctuary Cove area, pop in and send some love to East of Grey at The Hub - I'm certain you will find a vintage treasure that you will covet forever! 

Love, Mandy. xx

Thanks to my beautiful friend Maleika (take a peek at her gorgeous blog 'House of Avalon'), I managed to secure tickets to a few shows showcasing some local designers. Gold Coast is quite notorious for being the antithesis of style so events like these really instil me with hope that we can change our sartorial image! 

And how gorgeous is my high school best friend's outfit and neon satchel? I've been threatening to steal it from her ever since I laid my eyes upon them .... 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend! 

Love, Mandy. xx
